What is Salvia?
Everybody knows about the Miley Cyrus getting high thing I'm sure. I read she wasn't smoking pot but that it was something LEGAL in California called salvia and it does some of the same stuff weed does. I was wondering what it is exactly? is it grass too? and is it really legal like everybody says to smoke it?

I have a friend that has rolled on E and dropped acid multiple times, and it only took him one time to do salvia to realize it's not for him; too intense, and not a positive trip.

In many ways, salvia is similar to marijuana. Salvia is a psychoactive herb which can induce dissociative effects. After ingestion, the effects produced may include things like: odd sensations and feelings of motion, hallucinations, mentally believing and physically feeling a "merge" with or "becoming of" surrounding objects, the perception of being in several locations at once, increased sweating, impaired coordination, or even dysphoria (depression-like state). Although salvia is not physically addictive (only about 1.2% of users become addicted and experience strong cravings), a user (regular or otherwise) may mentally become overly desiring of using. It may also be considered a "gateway" drug.
There are risks with in inhaling any kind and all smoke. Smoking decreases the amount of oxygen that is present in your body. This can cause many things from lightheadedness, to shortness of breath, and even birth defects if you are pregnant. This decreased level of oxygenated blood may also be linked to the formation of cancer, cancerous cells, and tumors.
Personally, I wouldn't mess with it.
That's just me though.
